Castle Walk Bed & Breakfast, Stirlingshire

Stirling Castle Walk Bed & Breakfast offers 8 bedrooms of character in a brilliant location in the heart of Stirling's castle precinct. The guest house, built into the historic Stirling city walls, is a short walk from rail and bus stations, restaurants and bars and close to a wide array of activities, including: cycle and hiking routes, highland games venues, heritage sites, battle memorials, stately homes, iconic golf courses and salmon-filled rivers.

The door to the B&B is at the start of the Back Walk, Scotland's oldest maintained public walkway.

Stirling Castle itself is a much-loved attraction offering guides in historical outfits wielding lutes, swords and bedpans and an impressive Lego recreation of Stirling castle in a bygone era.
